Had Folau's pass bounced...

First topic message reminder :

I know there are lots of people who fell strongly one way or another about the 'forward pass' but I thought I'd just pose the question...

Had Folau's pass bounced before being picked up and scored what should the call have been?

I wonder where their concern for a technological marvel that can destroy a planet and spot a forward pass was then?
I don't think any Welsh fans have talked about a technological marvel.

Did we ever find out what difference the bounce makes? Sorry to get back on topic. Is the ball touching the ground got anything to do with where it's a loses of control or a pass? Do REALLY crap passers (i.e. English centres) never actually complete actual passes as they have so little control over the ball?
Apparently had the ball touched the floor it would've been given as a knock on.
According to who? A room of refs? Why?

According to his invisible friend that reassures him everything will be ok. picard

There's been no welsh posters in this thread for a while now GE, apart from me and I agree it wasn't forward.

Apologies. Fixed.

More inexplicable for me though is how Amazon can deliver a bracelet from China for my daughter's Christmas stocking filler for 59p gross.

Can't wait for them to introduce deliveries by octocopters, might move to the Heathrow area just to keep the pilots on their toes.

I don't know what everyone is going on about. The pass to George North for the first try was forward. Just as much as the Aus try. Swings and roundabouts. The Welsh have got nothing to moan about.
